Chambers ranks MD Moscow a first-tier energy & natural resources law firm
The 2008 edition of Chambers & Partners ranks Macleod Dixon's Moscow office as "first tier".
Chambers says that, "in addition to being renowned for its mining experience, the team of 'subsoil experts' at Macleod Dixon is successfully building up an oil and gas following. Clients return to the firm for its quality service: 'The lawyers deliver an excellent product, pay attention to detail and appreciate deadlines.' In a ground-breaking transaction in the mining industry, the Moscow office represented Bema Gold on a USD3.4 billion merger with Kinross Gold."
About our lawyers, Chambers says, "although primarily recognised as a mining expert, Aydin Jebrailov also handles a wide range of natural resources and energy matters. Peers enjoy working with him because 'he has great technical knowledge and his work is consistently of the highest quality.' On the basis of excellent market endorsement, Levon Kocharyan is climbing the ranks on account of his well-rounded expertise: 'Some lawyers in the ranking only do regulatory, licensing or energy M&A, but Kocharyan is an expert in all of that.' With experience in both mining and oil and gas work, Anatoly Andriash is a popular choice for clients. He is particularly noted for his work for Gazprom.
